Sorry for the late reply, been busy...
Yes, I'm blacklisting ath5k (have to -- no choice)
# Syntax: blacklist <driver name>
# See 'man modprobe'.
#
blacklist ath5k
The problem here is in the opensuse kernel module table that coordinates card
hardware ID with the proper module. That is wrong in openSuSE and it has been
for a couple of years ( I have fought this battle since 2007 with this laptop )
It was just a fluke that I loaded Arch Linux on the spare drive for the laptop,
and presto! the same ath5k driver worked perfectly because the lookup table
properly identified the card assigned ath5k correctly.
The important point is:
openSUSE:
